About the Game
From the creator of X-COM, Julian Gollop, comes Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids—a unique blend of 3rd person action and real-time strategy.
The alien Brainioids have invaded Earth and stolen all our precious Brainium crystals in their Grav Spheres. Only Chip ‘n Clawz, a young inventor and his robo-cat, can thwart their evil plans by taking control of each sphere, all the way up to the Mothership itself!
FUSION OF ACTION AND STRATEGY
Play as the heroic duo, Chip ‘n Clawz, in single-player or co-op, to put a stop to the Brainioid invasion in a humorous story campaign and challenging side missions.
Jump right into the action in fast-paced, pick-up-and-play missions with easy-to-learn yet satisfying-to-master game mechanics that bring a modern take to classic strategy games.
Lead the charge against the Brainioids as you build your arsenal of buildings, weapons, vehicles, and abilities!
Assemble and command your army through the strategic Command View and fight beside them in large-scale battles.
Boss battles against the mu-ha-highest-ranking Brainioids will put your base and minion management skills to the ultimate test!
